i prob could but i dont think it bad enough to wear its gona change the flight dynamics of the plane, besides its slowly starting to puff back up. i think flying it will help bring it back to normal over time. besdies these thing are combat wings, i think being hit by another plane would do more damage then one area of the wing, being a little flat.

well mines all done the only thing i havent done yet is lamanite over the tape for the elevons, incause i need to cut and adjust them or somthing. im gona try to fly it tomorrow morning. it seems a little nose heavy but then agian i havnt marked the cg area yet, but i think it will be fine tomorrow.

Cg is important, you for sure need to mark the cg and make sure it's there.

so i did my maiden yesterday morning and it was either A, realling nose heavy or B. i didnt have enough relex on the elevators. and it had bad tendcy of wanting to turn to the right till i got it trimmed out, and i thinkk... i need to get a new esc, orrrr.... reporgram it, cause the throttle curve seems very wierd with it. and that prop grabs so much air, id chop the throttle and id still be free wheelin as its flying by me and it made me think the motor was still on, u guys think i need to put it on brake mode? the esc is out of a trex 450 so, i think i need to mess with it a little. ohh and i bent the motor mount alittle, this thing glides foreverrrr once its trimmed out and stuff.

I was looking at this video of Randy and his Reaper. His plane is light with the CG farther back and tons of throw. He is a very good flyer but look at what the plane does with his settings. Hes starts intentionally doing snap rolls about minute one on the video. This is the same effect you have on take off with a tail heavy plane or a plane with too much movement on the elevons.

ok after looking at the vid, i think mine was just a bit noes heavy cause i rember, when i did a glide test with it, after i got it trimmed, wich btw it did need alot of down trim, wich still makes me think i didnt have enoiugh elevator reflex mechanical wise. (wich i just got done adjusting a few ago, oh and fixed motor mount.) it seemed to glide fine, and when i did a full throttle pass it seemed really stable, and it was just stright. i still need to get use to flying it, and i really do think i need to mess with the esc, cause half throttle seems like full, ther no diffrence between full and half on it, and the soft start i think is on too, wich explanes why some times it starts and the stops and starts and then stops when i try to use only 10 precent thorrttle too.

id chop the throttle and id still be free wheelin as its flying by me and it made me think the motor was still on, u guys think i need to put it on brake mode?

Oh, man, just Google that question, and you'll find pages and pages of discussion. Some say it's better to let it windmill. Others say it's better to set the brake. I happen to be of the windmill camp, but... on something as small as a 6 or 7" prop, it may not make that much difference, in the end.
